Main features
Using optimizing engineering, the Compact 2000 cardan shaft series has been designed to
meet the requirements of commercial vehicle manufactures such as:
Capacity
Transmission of static torque
Resistance to alternating and pulsating stresses
Bearing life
Well matched dynamic and static loadbearing capacity
Dynamic behaviour
Reduced mass moment of inertia
Longer single-piece cardan shaft for given speed
Reduced unbalance through lowered shaft weight
Enhanced true running due to new centre bearing design
Improved/repeatable balance due to accurate
centering of cross-serration
Operating Temperature
Cardan shafts are available as standard or special
types for various operating temperature ranges:
| Version |
Temperature range |
High temperature (shortly) |
| Standard |
- 25 °C to + 60 °C |
80 °C |
| High temp. |
- 25 °C to + 80 °C |
120 °C |
| Low temp. |
- 50 °C to + 60 °C |
80 °C |
Weight
Weight reduced for given static and dynamic torque
Short design
Reduced installation length due to use of standardized components
Expansion of the short coupling range
through addition of particularly short versions
Logistics
Conformity with international standards (ISO)
Reduction of complexity
Use of cross-serration flanges to provide
- cost-efficient stocking
- fewer bolts to fix
- bolt fixing simplified
- shorter assembly time
Protection of environment
Reduced noise emission
Maintenance-free versions
application of grease free of lead
